Using the computer search
program TODAI
based on the comparison of images (software developed in 1996 and 2000
by the LTS of the EPF of Lausanne,
St?phane Michel, and the Signal
Analysis chair of Halmstad University, Heike Walter, under the
supervision of Dr Josef Bigun)

Using descriptive keywords:
the program displays those ornaments which have been indexed with the
aid of selected keywords.

To achieve a greater degree
of search accuracy several pre-selections may be applied:

specifying the nature of
ornament (ie: typographical composition)

specifying the way in
which the ornament is used (ie: headpiece)

specifying the dimensions
of the ornament (in mm)

specifying the artist's
signature (as it is shown on the ornament being sought)
